        Well I found myself a box! Awesome!! but unfortunately it only had 8 hoppers in it and two were doubles. so I have an extra snake and tiger, so I only have six i need. so if anyone has doubles they would trade or $ell  me, please let me know.
      I need the cannibal, gorilla, hippo, lion, and the bull skull. or if there is another i dont know about.
Thanks!

Monsternik the boxes I have seen usually have only 10 variants & 2 doubles. In my box there was a double of the Leopard (but one has yellow eyes & one has blue eyes). And there is also two of the Skull with the Mohawk. Both versions of the Skull look to be the same.

I'm not sure if they ever came with 12 different versions though.

If youll look closer you do have 11 different ones, one is a cheetah, and the other is a tiger. the stripes on one and spots on the other.  Hopefully I can get the ones i am missing, the Hitler Hippo really cracks me up, and the cracked out gorilla! dont even get me started on the cannibal, he's absolutely the best! I really wish i would have seen one of the earlier sets that sold in the last couple weeks. the boxes were much nicer than the one im getting. But honestly im just happy to be getting one. I remember last year seeing just a boxtop alone sell for around $70, I saved the picture of it on my computer. and had been looking for another off on on for quite awhile, but slacked off my search and sure enough i missed out on these 4 or 5 that sold for $99 complete boxes, and full of wind ups!! More may still turn up however, fingers crossed.
